It will cause a problem for Christian Conservative outside of Utah. I assume we consider Iowa to be a state not named Utah so yes it will be an issue for him.
I can't say how much it will work against him but it will be significant. He could score huge if he has the magic bullet to win in Iraq or solve a key issue in a manner nobody else can. Short of that he will have a terrible time separating himself and his "flavor" will be a liability.
I was at the reception for Huckabee's book luanch last night and was much impressed! He spoke for a few minutes and was very welll recieved by the crowd. His book is an excellent read and I highly recommend that every take a look at it. More on my blog.
You really ought to consider cutting Mitt some slack. Your boy Bill Salier talked relentlessly (quite rightly I might add) about winning hearts and minds. That is the first step. The second step is not acting like self-righteous zealots when we win people to our side of an issue. I don't remember anybody chastizing Ronald Reagan for being far less pro-life, both personally and in his governing than Mitt Romney. Mitt I might add has a solid pro-life and fiscally conservative record as governor.
Your entire argument is based on the idea that Romney is on our side.
There are three possibilities here:
1. Romney has converted to conservatism in the last six months;
2. He's lying, or;
3. He has always been a conservative despite his record, campaign statements, press releases and glowing praise from pro-aborts.
I don't buy 1 or 3.
Reagan had a long paper trail of how his thought process evolved on things (see the book Reagan in His Own Hand). It didn't happen overnight like it has with Romney.

His Mormonism is a non-issue. Granted, some of their beliefs are on the goofy side but at least they don't call for slaughtering infidels.

Mitt is Mormon right?
Yes. So?
The problem I have with Romney is that he does not hold a consistent postion for more than two days.
